This past weekend I cracked open my pack of Pressed Petals Specialty DSP and WOW! Its so pretty! If you are wondering what makes this paper so special its actually a couple of things... yes, its beeautifully detailed, and has lots of Vintage-inspired designs. Its a lighter weight paper, perfect for all kinds of projects. But the best thing? Its double the size of the normal packs! So instead of 12 sheets in a pack, you get 24!!! This makes it EXCELLENT value! There are 6 different designs (front and back), and you get 4 full 12' x 12" sheets of each design!
There's also a good variety of colour. The main colours seem to be the pinky/purply shades, but here on my card today I chose the Navy/Crumb cake combo. Its a very simple card.... I let the paper do most of the work, and just added a few details. A yellow circle behind the sentiment to bring out the flower centres. I embossed my sentiment with White embossing powder on Navy cardstock to make it stand out. I added some leaves cut from Gold glimmer paper, and added a little lace ribbon for that extra Vintage touch. And thats pretty much it! But I think you will agree its a lovely card. With that paper.. its hard to go wrong!
Here's a close up:

very pretty card! I love how you let the pretty paper be showcased and your extra touches just made it shine! I don't see, though, what you used for the leaves? a die, or a punch? regardless, it's lovely!
